cnuntry. We shell not be` surprised to find them now iminunting that.thi% fabricattd statement %vas Sent from this,Country to be itherted in the Prague Gazette! We stated yesteiday that accounts bad been re- cl:ived of a successful attack having been made on the g3d Oh, by the Austrians on the French Tile de Pont, on the left Bank of Danube ; some of Our contemporaries have expressed doubts respe6ling the truth of this intelligence, and their doubts are found &d upon the circumstance of the 12th French Bul letin, which is dated the Vitt), not taking any no 't ce of an action on the tad. We ga'e the account J 3 it reached us yesterday, without stating that it was athcial, or pledging ourselves for its authenti city, but we by no means think that the silence of the Frerich Bulletin is a decisive proof that there was 120 BetiOrl on the fi3d. BFONAFARTE might pot have thought it expedient to communicate to the people of -Frace and of Germany that he had sus tained a second defeat.• It waa yesterday reported, on the authority of a letter from Portsmouth, that Lord CoLLlNowoon bad. capture,l live Sail of the Line of the Toulon Fleet, and fifteen Transports. We should be happy to confirm this account, but we fear that it is with: our foundation. The conduct of the Swedish Diet, in excluding the issue of the late King of Swtriatt from the Throne, as well as the unfortunate Monarch him self, is strange and mysterious. It seems to imply a Co33oothille!,s of power that induces them to despise the opinions of the people of Sweden, and must traite condemnation as well as surprise in every Other nation. It , has been privately intimated in - Sweden, that thudeposed Monarch was illegitimate, and that this cuu4d be proved by the testimony of a Swedish bishop, who was to be brought forward to justify the aCt of displacing the KING and bid race ; but no allusion to this story ap pears in the conclusion of the Diet, by which the unfortunate Monarch has been deprived of his crown, so that the exclusion of his children, whatever mo tives of policy might be conceived to justify the re aloval of the Is - jug hurt elf, must be considered as a most Uppre'SSiVt: act, kit:nce, it Sweden were at present able to patch up a Peace with ituSsia, the foundation is laid for future Civil kVars; for the . Sweues are a loyal people, anda strong party may be expetted to support thence of GUSTAVUS, though they.are not now able to maintain the interests of their unhappy Monarch, and perhaps may think that his. spirit is too adventurous and fornantic for tho Preseent condition of the country. it is:certain that in assigning no reason for the exclusion of the issue ,of the lath Monarch, the Diet has shewn a disregard of . the sentiments, of mankind, whiCh hardly any' Government, however tyrannical, has displayed in a formal promulgation of its decrees.
